> I've noticed there was a strong push around 2016-2018 to recommend newbie programmers NOT to go to Stackoverflow, but instead to ask the questions straight in the Github issues. Turns out, the problem was low quality questions all along, and that just converted an issue that StackOverflow had solved long ago into burnout for open source developers on Github.

I would contend that Stack Overflow hasn't solved it. The "close poor questions" and "why are there so many people who don't search first?"

As users felt that their questions weren't answered as promptly enough on SO or that closing their questions was equivalent to gatekeeping. This lead many of the people frustrated with not getting support type questions answered on Stack Overflow to go to other places to ask those support type questions. As the tooling around GitHub issues as support has been poor (and the number of people asking questions far outstrips the number of people offering support), this is leading to burnout.

This is very much a "push it over there" problem. There's been a good bit of history of companies and libraries trying to make Stack Overflow their support site ( https://meta.stackoverflow.com/search?q=reach+out+is%3Aq )

> Github needs to step up their game and give authors more powerful tools, there's so many entitled developers out there that will come and demand changes. It might make new devs feel less welcome, but the balance is tipped way too much to allow anyone to create massive spam for projects right now.

Absolutely - though that only delays the problem until the entitled developers overwhelm that tooling.
I was the same way about landline telephones - the fact that they carried their own power source was unexpected.
Most projects should have a readme and most readme's on github should have a constributing section that everyone hopefully reads before creating a PR. Failing to do so tbh means that person probably failed to comply with coding standards or whatever else is in there. It's just as likely to have the PR closed for those reasons as for the reason "No PR's please".

That said, I agree with the idea of simply removing the possibility to make external PR's. The possibility to view (internal) PR's must be there though, so that external viewers can see PRs from the mainainer(s).
Have they ever given you a response? Cognito has so much unrealized potential...
Adding stripping to my patio door that opens towards the main street helped me a lot. I am also surprised at how much noise isolation this added.

This makes my dwelling more air tight, so it's not good for carbon dioxide but I simply open windows outside traffic hours.
Honor to see our opensource company Jina AI and our opensource neural search framework Jina (https://github.com/jina-ai/jina) inspired another startup. I see quite some similarity between Jina's Protobuf and Pinecones's Protobuf, some even on the comment & naming level. Great starting point for potential synergy.

That's indeed what they are claiming but it's pretty clearly just the easiest excuse they can give no matter the reason. Similar to how it's the easiest reason for discord to say they are banning wsb because of bad language.

My favorite piece of everyday 'overengineering' is that old fashion phone lines basically always worked even during a complete power outage.
We’re helping developers with differential privacy
Presumably, we should evaluate a pair of such forks as if they were independent - at least, it is not obvious to me that knowing the history of patches provides a basis for evaluating them any differently than if they were independent.
Clojure Workshop [1] is one of the best introductions to Clojure, Lisps and FP I've had the pleasure to read.

If I'd recommend one thing to get you started with Clojure, it would be that. The rest is practice and experimentation (of which the book provides plenty).

Privacy != anonymity; usually.

Specific institutions, like finance, need to be able to discern your identity in some way in order to remain viable economic institutions. Provenance of monies can be a big question, and an important one, when dealing with people who spend their time in financial crime. If financial institutions could use a technology that is similar to PGP that maintains an identity without needing to reveal who you are, to me this is privacy. There's obvious exceptions to that, but generally I think it's a good idea given that one of the major ways merchandisers collect data on you is via transactions.
>> moral productive work and rearing children that actually advances the human race

Do not assume that everyone has the freedom to make such decisions. Moral decisions are ones that you can make regardless of life circumstance. Many people simply cannot afford the traditional lifestyle of getting married and having kids. I don't mean incels, I mean that all over the world there are young people who want to marry and have kids but are locked into economic situations that preclude the ability to take that "moral" path.
It would be interesting to know what the difference is between CNBC talking heads VS a community of "traders"?

Jimmy Cramer pumping stocks every evening to his boomer audience which ultimately has some effects (not sure how much though) on stock prices seems fine but a group of people discussing stocks seems like a threat...
According to the article it wasn't just random bystanders, it was a police officer.

"But Awan survived the crash, and he could have escaped the smoke and fire, too, Grossman said — if only the police officer who arrived on the scene could have opened the car’s doors."
It's most likely that (because of dark pools and other legalized front running) that Robinhood is the losing counterparty at the other end of these trades.
Let’s call it what it is. It’s not a domain taken over by squatters. The domain was stolen.

I’ve seen other domains get stolen recently, it seems to be about the same time.

Patterns dot com
Piracy dot com
Perl dot com

All stolen at around the same time.

With patterns, the thief hacked the network solutions account, put the domain under privacy, transferred it to a Chinese registrar, and then put the old whois data back. They then tried to sell it on sedo and afternic for 10 percent of what it’s worth.

I have been able to get sedo and afternic to remove the listings. But patterns has not been returned to its owner after about two months. Still working with the owner and registrars on that.

My advice is to lock down your domains, register them for at least 5 years, and if there are changes deal with them quickly. Once a domain is transferred it’s much harder to get back. It can be done, but it’s a lot of work to unravel it all.
I strongly disagree with some points made in the document:

> Window borders Do them in the application library!

Client side decorations have the huge disadvantage that you can't easily close unresponsive applications. To do so would need the compositor to somehow detect if an application has crashed or not which means nothing less than literally solving the halting problem.

> in particular, allthe X facilities for supporting window managers I would just flush.

In retrospect this is a huge mistake. Some niche window managers today have a more active community than the whole Wayland ecosystem. In fact the most popular haskell program is a window manager. So something must be right about enabling the modularity that makes window managers possible.
That's a good tip, although I know that not all cars make it possible to get to the trunk (or boot) from inside the passenger area.

In this case, the "restrictions" seem clearly aimed at retail investors, and intended to help those with short positions.

There are quite a few distinctions that should be obvious, yes, but let's stick to the most obvious one: BLM hasn't attempted to overturn a US election or overthrow the government.

Or this one: BLM hasn't caused any deaths, to date; the Capitol (capitalized, btw, and with an "o") insurrection caused 5 and could easily have resulted in the assassination of various senior government officials.

Or this one: BLM protests involved tens of millions of citizens across all walks of life and were prompted by very real social problems with police murdering black people; the Capitol riot was prompted by fascism and white supremacy.

Do I need to go on?
Not if the cost/hassle of having one is higher than the very specific type of insurance against doors being stuck it provides.

It's not as simple as that. I don't think any of Jean-Clément Martin books are translated to english, but its really not as simple as that.
hmm, so much like the console subsystem on Windows where you can start shells pretty much arbitrarily, detached from any real tty.

Which ML algorithms are racist? I could see how a researcher might train on a data set with built-in biases and assumptions, but I'm genuinely struggling to see how something like linear regression or SVM are "massively racist". Or maybe you are being sarcastic, I can't tell.
Just looking at this from a technical perspective, it'll be pretty exciting if all this ends up leading to an explosion in the take up of self-hosted social media platforms.

The question is, will the creators of these communities trust cloud providers where the platforms are hosted to not de-platform them, or will we end up with P2P, distributed networks instead?

I was scared to read about how a Tesla's door handles work -- it may apply to other modern cars, but I've only read about the Tesla. (It was probably when this incident first hit the news.)

The doors are electronic. The front doors have a mechanical override simply by pulling the door release lever further than usual. That's OK.

For the rear doors, there's an emergency cable to pull on at the very bottom of the door[1].

I was 11 when my dad crashed our car, at night at a decent speed. When we stopped moving, the car next to ours was already on fire, and I'm told ours also caught fire, although I didn't notice it at the time. My dad's (driver's) door was blocked, so he had to clamber across my younger sister in the front passenger seat. I unbuckled my younger brother (age 5), opened his door a bit, but had to kick it to get it to open sufficiently -- it was also badly dented in the collision.

If we'd had a Tesla, would you expect 11 year old me to know to "look below the seats for the carpet flap, find the little plastic tab, grab it and pull it to the side" -- and to be able to kick open the door while pulling that tab, since the side of the car is smashed in?

(We were all uninjured; some people in other cars had broken bones.)

The Capitol "riot" involved people with known plots to capture and kill lawmakers, and occurred while Congress was in session doing one of the most important (if intended to be mundane) tasks it does every four years.
Phone lines are their own power grid. It can have outages too, but since they don't share infrastructure too much with HV lines, it's less likely both fail at the same time.
You can be outraged without donning a pair of horns and running through the capitol with a stolen lectern. This kind of overcharged rhetoric gets us nowhere when rhetoric is all we have to solve the problem.
Hey, after I learned that Twitter acquired Revue, I decided to build a mashup app that converts Revue newsletters to Twitter threads.

As a user, I think Google Meet probably has the most cpu-friendly default settings for screensharing. They limit the framerate to 5fps, and they're careful to use either the native size of the screen or half the native size (which avoids at least some expensive scaling code paths).

This is hard/impossible to get right on every machine, because encoder implementations vary widely across all the hardware and operating system combinations. For example, using h264 instead of vp8 might help with cpu usage a lot on an older macOS machine, but make cpu usage worse on a newer macOS machine or some specific windows machine.

Here are settings we recommend to developers building apps that include screen-sharing using our video APIs: https://gist.github.com/kwindla/5d5a8190aee36dc00a5ef8e6c901...

Max-width of 640 for the camera. Max-width of 1920 for the screenshare, framerate limited to 5fps, and manually decimate the screenshare width by half if it's larger than 1920. ymmv, but these settings use ~30% of the cpu on a typical mid-range Windows or macOS machine, for the sending side of a two-person cam+screenshare call.

I'm already uneasy with the move from analogue interfaces to digital, but there's also this middle ground where "fanciness" just gets in the way of convenience.

Realistically, we're going to have a tough time finding out what dangers we'll have from moving from analogue dashboards to digital ones. Feels a bit like when we got rid of the incandescent bulb before LED bulbs were really ready.
On another one, someone with the name “Hui” couldn't even post anything, because apparently it's a romanization of a Russian profanity and they had applied a global filter which would surely leave out quite a bit.

> "It is very clear to anyone looking at the numbers that the whole marketplace is being manipulated here"

I don't get this.

I didn't know anything about short selling a few days ago and maybe now is a bad time to learn... but my understanding is that short selling is only legal because it disincentivizes bubbles caused by artificial overestimation of a company. Investors took it too far and short sold over 100% of the stocks in a company, ironically creating ideal conditions for a bubble. As soon as GameStop's stock turned upward, the rampant short selling resulted in a demand for more than 100% the supply of GameStop's stock, resulting in a meteoric rise in price.

But how is this market manipulation? The rise in stock price has nothing to do with an artificial overestimation of GameStop's value. It's just fundamental supply and demand. If anything, the short sellers are the ones who manipulated the market when they started shorting over 100% of the stock supply.

Like I said, I'm a complete noob when it comes to the stock market. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?
